Hi all, Hoping for some experienced advice here!
Currently setting up the RO system in the Van and trying to work out if I will need a booster pump or not. Using a Daqua 4021 system. Today I plumbed up the pre-filters to the mains (RO membrane disconnected), turned the tap on full, then put my thumb over the pipe after the pressure gauge to get a very crude reading on the tap psi. Yes, I know this probably isn't best practice but its all I had to hand at the time (bad pun, sorry!), got a reading of around 60-65psi after the pre-filters. Using a handy bucket I can also measure that the flow rate is around 12lpm. Will this be ok without a booster pump, or for the most efficient use of the system would a booster be recommended??
As a side note, the water board are coming out tomorrow to change a leaking stop tap by the water meter, so I'm hoping that will help the pressure rather than hinder!
You're advice please! :1f609:
